A Study of the Effect of a Moderate CYP3A Inducer Efavirenz on Quizartinib Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Participants

An Open-label, Parallel Drug Interaction Study to Evaluate the Effect of a CYP3A Moderate Inducer Efavirenz on the Pharmacokinetics of Quizartinib in Healthy Subjects

This drug-drug interaction (DDI) study has been designed to investigate the effect of a moderate CYP3A inducer efavirenz on the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib and its major circulating active metabolite AC886.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Subjects; Pharmacokinetics; Drug-drug Interaction; Quizartinib
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Efavirenz; Drug: Quizartinib

Detailed Description

In vitro, quizartinib is metabolized primarily by CYP3A. Therefore, co-administration of quizartinib with CYP3A inducers may decrease quizartinib exposure. This study will assess the effect of a moderate CYP3A inducer efavirenz on the single dose (60 mg) quizartinib pharmacokinetics in healthy participants.
